Q Talk

[ScarletDove]

Mention/inquiry made this morning on DV's "Coffee Talk" stream about 3 new hosts but no response to several questions.  Poked around and found yesterday's "Watch&Win" with Thomas (TJ) Anthony Jones. Today on "Watch&Win" was Melissa Goff; tomorrow on "Watch&Win" will be Chelsea Philips.  These are the 2023 crop of new hosts. Melissa mentioned they all will be doing shows soon, some CIJ.

Oh joy!

That seems like the last thing they need.  I think they have too many already.

We haven't yet recovered from the last batch.

Well, that's odd considering the recent layoffs.

Who are the oldest hosts currently?  Next ones to go?

Speaking of "new."  I saw the JAI show on Channel 3 at 11 am with a new host.  Very unappealing; very aggressive, loud, and pushy.  Worse than Scott.

Is Leah Williams working part-time this year? Know she spends a lot of time in AZ. 

Perhaps a couple are ready to retire?  (We can hope!) 

Three seems to be a workable number for training new hosts. The last group had two of the three (Steve and Stacy) up and running with ambition, excitement and well-prepared shows a year ago.

Nancy is beginning to show some improvement as a host, but might do well with additional training. She seems uncertain about verbalizing/selling an item to be sold, but loves modeling various clothing. She needs a Thesaurus to help expand her use of the English language. 

Vacations will be over and CIJ begins soon. Not that I enjoy those shows, but they keep the hosts very, very busy.

Not really.  QVC will pay them less money!
